[PATCH 12/30] drbd: possibly disable discard support, if backend has discard_zeroes_data=0

From: Philipp Reisner
Date: Mon Jun 13 2016 - 10:18:53 EST


From: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@xxxxxxxxxx>

Now that we have the discard_zeroes_if_aligned setting, we should also
check it when setting up our queue parameters on the primary,
not only on the receiving side.

We announce discard support,
UNLESS

* we are connected to a peer that does not support TRIM
on the DRBD protocol level. Otherwise, it would either discard, or
do a fallback to zero-out, depending on its backend and configuration.

* our local backend does not support discards,
or (discard_zeroes_data=0 AND discard_zeroes_if_aligned=no).
